– She has shown time and time again that she sneaks into people’s heads and makes them nervous, says Esbjerg player Nora Mørk. – When he starts saving, it can quickly settle in his head. One starts to overthink, says Györ player Linn Blohm. On Saturday, Swedish Blohm will meet Vipers and Lunde in the semi-finals of the Meisterliga during “final 4” in Budapest. – That’s nice, Katrine Lunde smiles when she hears how the opposing players can be influenced by her.

The veteran goalkeeper saved balls and frustrated the Györ attackers. – Just that Katrine is on the court can scare the life out of some opponents. The authority she radiates often means that the opposing players have so much respect that they refuse to shoot, says news’s handball expert, Peder Langfeldt. Langfeldt, with over 30 years of experience from top handball, believes that no other goalkeeper comes close to having such a great mental impact on opponents as Lunde. – If a player misses the first shot, you often see Katrine getting a mental advantage. She does it in a way that the player discovers it, through body language and verbally. She shows with her body that “something completely different is needed here to score on me”, says Langfeldt. See how it can be experienced to play against Katrine Lunde. Nobody saves more than Vipers Vipers Kristiansand has the highest save percentage of all teams in the Meisterliga. 34.9 percent. The other semi-final teams Ferencvaros, Esbjerg and Györ are between 30 and 33 percent. Katrine Lunde can win her seventh championship gold if the Vipers win this weekend. The veteran goalkeeper smiles when she is asked if she is aware of how she affects opponents negatively. – It sounds very bad when you say it like that, she laughs. – It has been part of my “image” and how I want to appear on the track. So I guess I’ve become kinder and kinder over the years, she says. – Do you have it? – Yes, I have. But it is important to have a routine. I have been involved for a long time and have had good achievements, so of course people are affected by that, says Lunde. GOLD: Katrine Lunde has won the Meisterliga six times. At the weekend he can do it again.

There will be over 20,000 contributors. – I am excited. Very excited. But it’s good that it tingles a little. I have already been to the toilet many times today, she says. But two of Lunde’s competitors think they have the recipe for how they can avoid being psyched out by the goalkeeper. – If you are prepared for it to happen, I don’t think you should go crazy. But it is a mental battle. If you trust yourself, I think it will go well, says Esbjerg player Henny Reistad. – It is important to hit the first shot. Then I think this will go well. So for us it will be very important that the first shot hits the target, says Györ player Linn Blohm. On Saturday, it will therefore be clear who will meet in the final. Vipers meet Györ, while Esbjerg meets Ferencvaros in the other semi-final.
